Plenty of information is rolling in, so here's where we sit for hazard this upcoming week, June 8th-14th, 2026. Our weekly weather monitor broke it down to start the day, and here's a visual to add to it.
Excessive heat, which is heat index values into the mid-90s to 100s, will dominate the state on Wednesday and Thursday. We've combined the pink zones from our map on Saturday to show this. In yellow, the greatest chances for severe weather will be on Wednesday, or very early Thursday morning (prior to sunrise). In orange, a line of severe weather is expected to move from west to east across the Lower Peninsula later in the day on Thursday.
Our first call severe weather outlook for Wednesday and Thursday will begin to be released tomorrow. Stay tuned.

The reason ID is banned in California (and New York) elections is to enable large-scale fraud.
When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, and Michigan are under a rare day 4 "enhanced" risk of severe weather, with tornadoes, very large hail, and damaging winds likely.
Significant severe weather is expected on Thursday across the Midwest and Great Lakes on Thursday, with very large hail, significant damaging winds, and a few tornadoes possible.
A VERY busy stretch of severe weather is ahead, after relatively quiet May. Don't mess around and stay weather aware.
Hold up, before you go to bed, you should be aware of our incoming squall line.
Here shortly before 10 pm EDT on June 5th, we are monitoring a strong to severe line of storms on, or approaching northern Lake Michigan, currently producing pea size hail, 60 mph winds, and perhaps a few waterspouts. With time, guidance shows this line of storms maintaining its strength, fueling themselves on some excess instability into the Lower Peninsula. Our main hazard, and likely only hazard will be severe winds of 60 mph, however, a less than 3% chance for a tornado is also possible. The SPC in Norman, OK also reintroduced low-end severe weather probabilities for the overnight timeframe, so we will undoubtedly stay up all night monitoring radar for you. Additional pop-up storms are also possible along and south of I-96 between 1-4 am EDT ahead of the squall line.
Shown here is the approximate timing hour-by-hour overnight. If warnings do get issued for wind, make sure you have ways to wake yourself up, including alerts on your phone, and of course a weather radio. Also a good time to remind you all that sirens are not intended to be heard indoors, so if you rely on sirens, have other options as well. Severe is not a guarantee with this being a fringe severe atmosphere, but again, we will be monitoring just in case. Send us all the love (and energy drinks) you can give. Follow us on YouTube or Twitch TV to receive notifications for when we go live as well, if we do.
Time of post, 9:59 pm EDT 6/5/26.

@BostonWeatherUK@PettusWX@MaxVelocityWX Despising Max for using AI is like Railroad Company Tycoons being mad at people for flying. Get with the times. Why wouldn't a person use a cheaper/free service with instant results?
@DBGyt_ They won the championship 14 years ago. Also, there were 12 teams in the league, at that point, three less than today. Pretty decent odds for any team to win it. Let's not give the front office too much credit.
@GarritySea51424@demsforpratt Lying about someone saying Sandy Hook was a hoax is just as bad as saying Sandy Hook was a hoax. They're both lies and spreading false information.
@the_det_times Stop with the overemphasizing of analytics and create a consistent batting lineup so our players can get comfortable. Also, we still need a bat or two!
@the_det_times Third worse dating back to 2025 all star break. Stop overthinking every analytical data point, and develop some consistency in the everyday lineup! Also, maybe get a bat. Probably, two now, at this point!
